Hi guys

This is my first brand new car and I'm just wondering is there any advice that you can give me relating to accepting the delivery of the car and any major no-nos that I shouldn't do with the car until it's "broken in"?

I'd never heard that term before but a work colleague told me I have to be gentle with it for the first 1,000km to loosen the engine up. Is this true or was he pulling my leg?

Also, when I pick up the car (about 3 weeks away now) is there anything I should look at before accepting the car?
